Go to Newegg and look around.
They have filters on your left menu to sort through price ranges and different specs.
Just for example:
CPU $109.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116196
(out of stock)(keep checking or look to another source)
RAM $54.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145167
Motherboard $109.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813186093
Graphics card $109.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130297
Total = $384.96
(some rebates in there too).
Anyway look about for yourself. There is a lot to choose from.
Instead of using Pentium 4 could i upgrade to http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115030
or even

Think this Motherboard would work well?

Sure you can. I was going to a low/mid price range.
The important thing is to get the best match of all the parts.
As you go to a higher end CPU then you might want a higher end mobo etc.
Setting a budget is probably the best bet.
I'd say the breakdown would be something like:
CPU
MoBo
RAM
GPU
Each of these can run from $50 (cheap) to $250 (very good) & beyond (very high end).
If you went to a dual core I would upgrade the RAM to match the BUS speed.
Also need to verify that the motherboard will handle it.
Just a rough guess is a dual or quad core system would go to @ $500.
Ok, so I was thinking of buying:
CPU : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115029 = $194.99
RAM :http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145167 = $54.99
GRAPHICS :http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130297 =$109.99
MOTHERBOARD :http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131219 =$229.99
Total =$589.96

Very nice motherboard.
Again you are going into a high mid-range system now.
$230 for a motherboard could almost be considered "high end".
Depends on what you want to spend but yes that is a nice board and a nice CPU.
You are also getting to the point where you might need a new Power Supply to handle this.
Oh, my Budget is around $600
My Current Power Supply is 400wat
